    Okay i have a 97 GTP stock besides intake and a week ago the car randomly started boosting all the way usually half boost. then bout half hour later random misfire code was thrown then fuel pump went out now with new fuel pump it started boosting completely but now its hardly anything off the line the tires wont even spin im not getting boost till i am actually moving. also i am gettin a too lean on bank 1 code also and circuit issues with MAF sensor could this be my boost issues i thought it was resolved with the 300$ fuel pump but now its back and worse. . . to a point its almost reminding me of my cat being plugged like my exploder had but doubt its that easy lol LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK THANKS

    Fix your check engine light codes.

    Having a Air flow related code (MAF) and a fuel realated code (o2 sensor) are some pretty big problems.

    p0171 usually is a vacuum leak. You need to fix that before you blow your motor from beating on it.

    same thing happened with my 98 gtp. and it was a vaccume leak, one of the hoses snapped for some reason. i still have a slight leak some where and have yet to track it down

    Spray some break cleaner around the vacuum lines to check for any leaks in the vacuum harness, maybe coolant could be slowly building up in a cylinder or 2 if your LIM gaskets are done. What LIM gaskets do you have the crap plastic black gaskets or the alumminum gaskets the (3rd gen design)?
